Mining and Stock Exchange Stocks Real Estate Insurance and Loans THE DEADLY FLY :o,y)um ",ieatre Garbage and decaying matterin general is the favorite nesting place of the fly, where she lays about 120 eggs at a time, which in turn becomes full-grown flies within a period of ten days. "A single fly may have many thous- ands of descendants during the season," it is stated, so that it may easily be seen that the "sivatting" campaign is really ef- fective in preventing the in- crease of these pestiferous little creatures. Better than swatting, however, is the care taken in re- moving all congenial breeding- places. Garbage cans should be kept covered at all times and the utmost cleanliness observed a- round the house. These precau- tions, simple as thev are may have important results. In the words of the bulletin: "Cleanli- ness results in flylessness; pre- vention is better than cure."-- Hamilton Spectator.
